Velocity

Voices in my head, telling me I've fed; Angels flying over me; This is what war does to good men; This is what war does to them; Touching me so nice, I think I'm walking on cold ice; As my feet stop burning I walk on walk on walk on so undeserving. . . In mediocrity A mile is just ahead of me; A smile is just a frown turned upside down but yet I can't see TV Why, are all theses people looking at me? Velocity Specks of drops of light Shining all so bright In front of my eyes sight, not so nice; I can hardly see the night; Velocity I need night vision goggles; So that I can rock them In the twilight in the mountains and the waters; They are shooting all at me; Why because they be, they be the enemy; Voices in my head, telling me I've fed; Angels flying over me; This is what war does to good men; This is what war does to them; Touching me so nice, I think I'm walking on cold ice; As my feet stop burning I walk on walk on walk on so undeserving. . . In mediocrity... Velocity I walk on a mile is just ahead of me; A smile is just frown turned upside down and yet I still can't see; Why are all these people looking at me; Why are all these people looking at me; Specks of drops of light Shining all so bright In front of my eyes sight, not so nice; I can hardly see the night; Velocity Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 03/25/2010
